Rotary youth helping to sell 50/50 draw tickets at the October 23rd Vancouver Giants hockey game surround Rotary District 5040 Governor Lyn Stroshin
Led by the Tsawwassen and Ladner Rotary Clubs, with Rotoract Clubs (university students and young professionals) and Interact Clubs (high school students) in Delta and Vancouver, $1,150 in proceeds from tickets Rotary sold for that game will go to the campaign to End Polio. With a double matching grant from the Government of Canada and another from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that converts into a contribution of $5,750 towards the $1.5 billion global campaign still needed to erradicate polio completely.
Another big winner was the Boys & Girls Club which received tickets worth almost $1,700 purchased by Rotarians and others so that 94 young people could attend the game at no cost.
